Once breast cancer recurs after surgery, it is more difficult to treat. If a
patient needs surgery again, the operation will be more complicated and may
causes severe side effects. It may decrease patient’s survival rate. So, how
breast cancer patient do if cancer recurs after surgery?

Let’s see how Viengsamay Mixayboua faced with this situation.

Viengsamay Mixayboua, 47 years old, is from Laos. One year after surgery for
right breast cancer, she got recurrence. She resorted to minimally invasive

disappeared.

Rejected surgery and chemotherapy after breast cancer recurrence

In December 2015, Viengsamay Mixayboua accidentally detected a bean-sized
mass in her right breast. After check-up at Bangkok hospital, she was diagnosed
with breast cancer stage II. Doctor suggested her take surgery at once as
malignant tumor develops so fast, and told her she might only left one month to
live once cancer metastasized. To save life, Viengsamay Mixayboua received
surgery and chemotherapy in Thailand. However, one year later, cancer recurred
in her right breast. Thai doctor recommended her surgery again, but she
hesitated and wondered whether the second time of surgery would work or not. If
cancer metastasized to other parts of body, what would she do? At last,
Viengsamay refused the suggestions and decided to find other alternative cancer
treatments.

Finally, Viengsamay found out St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou on the Internet, which has minimally invasive treatment Laos and Thailand
hospitals don’t have. Compared with conventional therapies, minimally invasive
treatment has advantages of small trauma, few side effects, quick recovery, etc.
Besides, breast cancer patients just like her get improvement after this
